go watch this on Twitter: Ta-Nehisi Coates gets the most hostile grilling from CBS Mornings' Tony Dokoupil over Israel, but Coates just sticks to the meat of the issue: apartheid is wrong, morally, and there's nothing Palestinians could do that would make it any less wrong x.com/CBSMornings/...

I’ve heard enough people torture and misuse Coates quotes (that’s fun to say) that I forgot he’s actually still a real one.

This fucking spits

yo, this is kind of one of the most racist things i’ve ever seen on a national journalism program?

He’s fucking fantastic.

as my friend @akareynolds.bsky.social said of Coates, "he could have cashed easy cheques the rest of his life, and yet!" sharp as hell, clear-eyed and brave. one of the best we've got.

I thought it was OK and I’ll tell you why. The interviewer knew that coats could handle that or he wouldn’t have asked it and he handled it very very well.

damn he's good

Tony Dokoupil is awful and really doesn’t deserve the title of journalist. He thinks he’s balanced just because he “both sides” the shit out of any issue that comes his way. “Some people say the Nazis are just misunderstood. What do you say to those people?”
